The UN-REDD Programme has been delivering a knowledge management workstream to provide technical analysis and practical knowledge to countries on how to better mainstream their REDD+ efforts and align them with the provisions of the Paris Agreement, particularly with regard to the submission and review of their NDCs and the advancement of the SDGs. The issues considered as part of the workstream are summarized in the present brief. The aim of the support offered in the context of the workstream is to promote synergies between REDD+ and NDCs, while also aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals, through knowledge sharing at the regional and global levels and provision of technical assistance to countries. The present section considers the following key aspects of REDD+, which are supported through UN-REDD, with clear implications for NDCs, including the tracking of NDC progress through the enhanced transparency framework for action and support: (a) national REDD+ strategies/action plans; (b) national forest monitoring systems and measurement, reporting and verification; and (c) REDD+ results-based finance.
